    Childhood

    Mary Tudor was a really smart child.

    Her father Henry VIII loved her, but he was still disappointed by the fact that he and Catherine of Aragon had no male heirs to the throne.
    In 1525, at nine years old, she was sent to the border of Wales and was called "princess of Wales" even though she didn't officially have that title.
  • Period: 1529 to 1534

    Adolescence

    During her adolescence, Mary was sent to another home due to the fact that her father, Henry VIII, married another woman named Anne Boleyn.
    She was also deemed illegitimate.
